Grrrr....Getting frustrated...someone please send me in the right direction...

jenjames06 Dec 15, 2005 01:17 PM

I am getting tired of all these advertisers in the classifieds. None of them will return my emails. How am I supposed to get into breeding balls if no breeders answer me? How are they selling thier animals anyways? Anyways, can someone point me in the right direction of some breeders with decent prices(not $500 for a male 100% Het albino baby when everyone else has them advertised for $150) that will actually cantact me back. When someone advertises and then does not respond back to emails for a week or 2 it make me wonder how quick I'd actually get my animals once paid for. I will let you guys know what I am looking for so you can point me towards someone who might be able to provide at least a little customer service...LOL.
1.0 100% Het Albino

Defending his light,
And wondering...
Where the hell have I been?
Sleeping, lost, and numb.
So glad that I have found you.
I am wide awake and heading home.

LOL - just keep poking around sometimes the KS system doesn't work for people and they don't get your messages - if there is an email or phone number or website sometimes that is the best way to get a hold of people. That being said - I'm not sure where you are at, but you'll probably find that a lot of people cannot ship now anyway - it's much too cold and you really don't want to ship a live animal during the holidays anyway. Maybe it will be best to wait until spring when there is an abundant supply and better shipping.

Email me and I will give you the name of a very reputable breeder who probably has male het albinos and het piebalds available. I have purchased female het albinos and het piebalds from him and found him to be very friendly and professional. His prices are very reasonable. He had some male pastels available a few weeks ago, so he may still have some. Let me know if I can help you.

I get a lot of e-mails from adds on kingsnake some of the return e-mail addressed are no good try e-mailsing them again. With proper packing I got a high end animal from nerd fed-ex just fine.

I am going to try to work a deal out with Joe from Compel or Garrick from crestedgecko.com. I think I'm going to have to cut back on my 06 order lol. I am in absolute love with an albino female...

joe is a class act, you will have no problems dealing with him. i also recommend adam of 8ballpythons, his customer service is top notch.

Garrick is the man! I bought a male het albino from him a while back - no problems whatsoever.

(Funny...I just sold him 45 minutes ago, LOL)

have you considered checking out one of the online reptile auctions i know [bleep].com has one, and i have seen several others
you might get a good deal but just make sure you are getting it from a credible supplyer.
and the price you pay will reflect the true supply and demand of the market.
i know i ordered 2 baby norms for 25 each from there, never got them, but that is why you have to be careful, stay away from back bay bargains(formerly out of biloxi miss) i had major problems. didnt get snakes or refund.

Soemtimes people send me emails that will not go through when I reply, and I have no way to contact them because there is no phone #.

Christy Talbert Dec 19, 2005 06:15 AM

Ralph Davis returns every email. Good luck, Christy
